Capt Mark Kelly may be one of the most accomplished veterans in the US today, and calling him a traitor is absolutely bonkers. After what he and his spouse (you know, Gabrielle Giffords, who was nearly assassinated) went through, and have done for their country, this is bizarre

It took me WEEKS to move my entire Google Drive and Google Photos (+videos) archive to Proton Drive + NAS just so I can cancel Google One and stop giving them money without losing data. And I needed a tool to help me restore file dates from Photos/Videos, so I made one! github.com/dsuurlant/ta...

so one of my neighbors, idk who, has recently gotten a new wifi router that's been completely ruining mine with channel interference. 🤬 Hopefully my manual settings work, but it's seriously ticking me off that this ISP thought "let's grab max signal max width and ruin everything for your neighbors"

Idk how to explain at this point, but seeing generated images take over every of our visual cultures makes me immensely sad. I don't think people have an idea of how much of a disaster it is. People have normalized it so easily, too.

For a guy who's obsessed with going to Mars, Elon Musk sure is canceling a lot of STEM funding. How does he think we'll land on Mars if not through science, engineering, and medical advancements? Duct tape and memecoins?

The idea that story-driven games aren’t replayable is so strange to me. I eventually bounce off every multiplayer game because I get bored, but I go back to story games again and again just like rewatching a favorite movie, or to experience something new

Sent in 4 CFPs for conferences this year, and all of them got rejected. I think that's just part of the process though. There's only so many spots open and I don't have any reputation built up. But even if I did, I believe rejection is just a part of speakership! No reason to be discouraged.

The main argument against DEI is that it means mediocre individuals are preferred above the most capable candidate, but the opposite is true. W/o DEI & anti-discrimination action, the ppl who get hired are the ones alike those in power, whilst the excellent are passed over for being different.

My first CFP for DPC 2025 was rejected, it's likely that the second will as well. It's probably because I still have to build up more of a speaker profile, or there was a competing talk from someone more well established. I'm proud of myself for submitting the proposals either way!

Flooding social media with fake AI users has even more sinister consequences than the obvious engagement farming or propaganda use. It necessitates an end to anonymity for actual humans to connect online, making it easy to persecute and disrupt the activism of marginalized groups.

Zucht. Met de nieuwe NS dienstregeling valt de directe verbinding tussen Rotterdam Centraal en Amsterdam Centraal weg, maar wees gerust! Je mag nog steeds toeslag betalen, ook met extra overstap die tijdens weersomstandigheden gegarandeerd fout zal gaan.
Wijzigingen Intercity Direct: nieuwe route en extra stations In de nieuwe dienstregeling rijdt de Intercity Direct tussen Breda, Rotterdam en Schiphol Airport door naar Amsterdam Zuid, in plaats van naar Amsterdam Centraal. Daarna rijdt de Intercity Direct door naar Almere en Lelystad, of via Hilversum naar Amersfoort. Reizigers naar Schiphol vanuit Oost-Nederland moeten overstappen op station Amersfoort. Reis je met de Intercity Direct de Eurocity Direct tussen Schiphol Airport en Rotterdam Centraal of vice versa? Dan heb je naast je NS vervoerbewijs een Intercity direct Toeslag nodig.
